Realistic or Modern New Beginnings

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro shot up when she brought up Lilly and glared more "And who fucking said this huh?! Did it fucking come from my goddamn mouth?! Do not EVER bring up my wife's name again understand?! You have no fucking say, you're only the goddamn nanny!" He yelled absolutely fuming now.

Max frowned and gave a heavy sigh kissing his cheek gently "If it is that then we need to find a way to make everything less stressful for you." She murmured, she couldn't help but feel it was partially her fault

 

[decadent-rider]

She glared back at him and shook her head "Your girlfriend told me this. And after everything else she's put the kids through I wasn't shocked." she muttered "She might have been your wife but she was also my best friend." she muttered, getting up and going to grab her keys and her wallet, leaving the house to get out of there for a bit.

He frowned and just nodded slowly "Alright... It's not... It's not one thing... I think it's everything together... When can we leave?" He asked her quietly, yawning some and pulled her into his arms a little tighter, burying his face into her shoulder and yawning. again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro growled at her shaking his head some as she left not even trying to stop her. He frowned and looked over the food makong sure to finish it before he yelled for the kids now in a fowl mood.

Max shook her head softly and ran her fingers through his hair just the way he liked it "We'll figure this out. How did things go with Nico?" She asked quietly wanting to shift the subject to something that made him happy

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled tiredly and watched her "Mmm... That feels nice... He was good... Excited to meet you and Greyson... Teresa said they could do tomorrow night to pop over... if that was okay with you." He mumbled, yawning some and rubbed at his face, frowning some as things went blurry for a minute before they settled

Talia frowned some when they got down there and she sat next to her brother quietly "Where did Carmen go?" She asked her Dad after a while "I wanted to shhow her the rosette I got." she told him, sipping her drink "Daddy... Is Grace gonna come stay here agin?" She asked him

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and sighed heavily kissing the top of his head "I would not have a problem with that, but we have to make sure you're okay first." She said softly and sat up a bit as the doctor came in.

Pedro frowned some and sighed heavily "I gave her the night off sweetheart." He murmured then shrugged some as he sipped at his stiff drink "Maybe, I'm not sure. Why do you ask?" He asked her curiously

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly and sat up, watching the doctor that came in and just gave her hand a tight squeeze as he got a little nervous. ‘I got good and bad news.... good news is there’s no tumor causing the seizures. Bad news is because there’s no definitive answer, there’s not much we can do to help unless they continue to occur. So we’re going to send you home. We’re going to give you some information on how to handle any seizures if there are any more. Obviously if they’re typically bad then come in again. Make notes all that stuff.” He explained to them while Clay sat there a little frustrated but thanked him after and signed off his discharge papers, getting changed into some scrubs that they gave him then started heading out with max being very quiet.

She frowned some and shook her head. “I don’t want her to. She’s mean to carmen.” She told him while she drank her water and watched Edgar pick up scraps off the floor. “And she doesn’t like us.” She frowned some. “She said she wants you to herself.” She mumbled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned softly and gave nod thanking the doctor quietly before she went to take Clay home. She took him inside and got him propped on the couch kissing him gently "I'm gonna go call my mom, tell her to bring Greyson home." She murmured softly to him before she stepped out of the room

Pedro frowned as he listened to his daughter and gave a small nod before finishing his drink "Well that is very good to know princess." He murmured kissing her forehead before he went to clean up

 

[decadent-rider]

José frowned some and watched him. “Cant carmen be our new mommy?” He asked him. “We like her loads better.” He told him.

 

[decadent-rider]

Clay frowned some but nodded and leaned back into the cushions sighing quietly and ended up falling asleep under the blanket.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max let out a sob as she explained everything to her mom. She calmly came out and smiled seeing him asleep. Once Greyson was back he was waking up finally

Pedro frowned shaking his head some "No! Carmen isn't your mother!" He yelled

 

[decadent-rider]

Jose jumped that time and quickly got up running up to his room with Edgar hot on his heels thinking they were playing a game. Talia even left quietly after that. Not wanting her dad to yell at her either.

Clay smiled tiredly and took Greyson into his arms going upstairs with him to get some time with him and so max could talk to her mom.

“So what’s going on then? He alright?” She asked her daughter, making them both a drink and sat down with her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro shook his head some and took deep breaths to calm himself down. As the night progressed her got the kids tucked into bed at a decent hour before he went to call Grace

Max sighed heavily and sat with her mom at the dining table shaking her head some "They don't know what it is. Its not a tumor but they can't figure out anything else." She explaines

 

[decadent-rider]

Grace yawned some and stretched out. “Hey handsome, I was just about to head up to bed and call you. How was the zoo?” She asked him smiling some.

She frowned but nodded. “You gonna stay with him if this gets worse? I only ask because it’s a lot of work. There won’t just be greyson to keep an eye on as well.” She told her gently.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro frowned some and sighed heavily as he sat on his bed running a hand over his face "Did you tell Carmen that I was going to send my children to boarding school?" He asked getting straight to the point with her.

Max frowned and nodded immediately "I love him more than anything mom, I won't leave him." She explained

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded. “I’m not saying you should sweetheart, I’m just telling you to be prepared.” She warned her gently watching Clay come in the room to get a drink.

She frowned shaking her head. “God no. I told her that it might be worth looking into when they get a bit older. A lot of those schools are really specialised and so are both the kids.” She told him. “She kept telling me this morning to back the fuck off like it was any of her business who you choose to see.” She muttered frowning

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and smiled some at Clay and Greyson "You boys having fun?" She cooed smiled as Greyson squealed happily

Pedro shook his head some and took a deep breath "I never agreed to even looking into a boarding school for them and you know that." He said starting to get angrier

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned some shaking her head. “I never said you did. I was just talking to her seeing as Talias got so into her riding... why are you getting so angry?” She questioned him frowning some.

“He’s helping me paint... by helping me I mean he’s playing with his tummy time mat and screaming at me when I stop paying attention.” He chuckled quietly and passed him over to max when he made grabby hands. “Marie are you staying for dinner?” He asked her as he started getting stuff out to make.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro took a deep breath shaking his head some "You do know my kids are apart of it all right? If we were to ever get serious you can't just send them off?" He asked "I want the truth Grace, do you want kids?"

Max laughed some taking Greyson into her arms and kissing all over her face "Oh yes mom please stay over." She said happily turning her attention to her mom

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned shaking her head. “Then you and I want very different things.” She muttered and hung up the phone.
Talia was the one to poke her head into her dads room frowning some. “Daddy I can’t sleep.” She told him frowning some and reached for him to pick her up.

Clay chuckled quietly as she agreed to stay for dinner and he nodded, getting a few extra bits out and grabbing his phone when it rang, assuming it was just work asking him to come in to cover but relaxed once he heard Teresa’s voice. “Hey, what do you need?” He asked her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Pedro frowned and groaned some putting his phone away before he yelled out in anger. He looked over Talia when he heard her voice and sighed heavily picking her up and letting her get in bed "You too huh? Well maybe we can both sleep if we're together yeah?" He murmured before he let her get comfy under the covers

Teresa gave a small smile when she heard Clay's voice still having no clue about what happened earlier "Hey, Nico wants to talk to you but I also wanted to make sure we were still okay for dinner tomorrow at your place?" She asked softly

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded some yawning. “Yeah I think that’s still fine. Babe, we didn’t make any last minute plans for tomorrow night? Nico and Teresa are coming over here.... no she says it’s all good.” He told her then waited til he was on the phone with his son. “Hey buddy, you have a good rest of your day?” He asked him, starting to feel funny while he was cutting up the chicken and just put the knife down, barely able to listen to him, sitting on the floor and out his head between his knees trying to stop everything from spinning.

she frowned some and cuddled her teddy to her still as well. “Daddy.... I miss mommy.” She told him frowning. “I want her to come back.” She mumbled

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned some when she turned and saw Clay on the floor "Mom take Grey." She murmured before rushing over to Clay and taking the phone from him "Nico? Hey sweetheart this is Max, let your dad call you right back okay? I promise he will." She said sweetly to the little boy before hanging up the phone and moving clay to lay down making sure his head was in her lap "Keep your eyes closed babe and deep breaths." She murmured remembering what they had told her before.

Pedro moved to lay with his daughter and pulled her close kissing the top of her head some "Me too sweetheart...me too." He whispered hoping his voice didn't faulter or crack as tears streamed down his face wishing more than anything that he had his wife there with him right now.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned as his hands balled into fists by themselves and just tried to stay steady but he passed out and started seizing in her lap again, this one lasting a couple minutes before he lay there panting and slowly coming round again, looking up at her and frowning. “I don’t think... I should,.. be using a knife.” He mumbled rubbing at his face and got up quietly, gently pushing at her hands when she went to follow him, going up to their room to lay down instead just feeling frustrated and more worried.

Talia was asleep a few minutes after that but she woke up early as always and went downstairs to watch cartoons with the dog, frowning some when she heard someone banging at the door before footsteps ran away and she watched a big truck pull away from the kerb outside their house, going up to get her dad and wake him up. “Daddy, someone left something by our door.” She frowned having heard something drop but she knew not to open the door unless told to. Except if she had known that it was carmen who had been dropped on their porch she would have opened it.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max helped him through it but frowned when he pushed her away after she got up sighing heavily. She went into the kitchen and picked up the knife before she finished up whatever he was making looking over at her mom "I think its just us for dinner now." She said softly

Pedro groaned some and got up when Talia came in. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the peep hole of the front door once he made it downstairs frowning when he didn't see anything. He cracked open the door and went wide eyed seeing a body laying there. When he opened in fully though he fell to his knees pulling Carmen close to him "Talia call 911!" He yelled seeing as she was barely breathing and had a large blood stain between her legs

 

[decadent-rider]

Clay was up in bed the rest of the night, looking up when she came to join him after her mom left and Greyson was in bed. “Sorry... I just... I really don’t need this shit right now. Clearly it was not a one time thing.” He muttered frowning some and pulled her in close once she was in bed, “I need t be able to still support you both,.. if I can’t work I can’t do that.” He muttered

Carmen was conscious but hardly able to move and crying loudly. “Pedge? It was... it was Jack... he found me at the diner in... diner in town.” She sobbed leaning back against him. “He took me back to his and he tried to make me stay.” She whimpered shaking badly and cried out as another pain went through her. “I’m so scared.”
